🦥 Quick Start

from flex_ai import FlexAI

# Initialize client with your API key
client = FlexAI(api_key="your-api-key")

# Create dataset - for all datasets [here](https://docs.getflex.ai/quickstart#upload-your-first-dataset)
dataset = client.create_dataset("Dataset Name", "train.jsonl", "eval.jsonl")

# Start fine-tuning -
task = client.create_finetune(
    name="My Task",
    dataset_id=dataset["id"],
    # You can choose from 60+ models, Full list [here](https://docs.getflex.ai/core-concepts/models)
    model="meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct",
    n_epochs=10,
    train_with_lora=True,
    lora_config={
        "lora_r": 64,
        "lora_alpha": 8,
        "lora_dropout": 0.1
    }
)

# Create endpoint
endpoint = client.create_multi_lora_endpoint(
    name="My Endpoint",
    lora_checkpoints=[{"id": checkpoint_id, "name": "step_1"}],
    compute="A100-40GB"
)

🥇 Using Your Fine-tuned Model

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    base_url=f"{endpoint_url}/v1"
)

completion = client.completions.create(

Notes:

• "vLLM Support" indicates whether the model is compatible with the vLLM (very Large Language Model) inference framework.
• "LoRA Support" indicates if the vLLM support inference the model with multiple LorA Adapters. Read more
• Context length is measured in tokens. (The model context can change by the target inference library)
• Parameter count is shown in billions (B).
• Links lead to the model's page on Hugging Face or the official website when available.

This table provides a comprehensive overview of the available models, their sizes, capabilities, and support for various fine-tuning techniques. When choosing a model for fine-tuning, consider factors such as the model size, context length, and support for specific optimization techniques like vLLM and LoRA.
